IND vs PAK Asia Cup Final: India Boycott Trophy Picture After Toss

Captain of the Indian cricket team, Suryakumar Yadav, skipped the customary trophy picture between captains after the toss in the Asia Cup 2025 final.

The match is being played between India and Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The Men in Blue won the toss and elected to bowl first. 

Ravi Shastri, former Indian cricketer and 1983 World Cup winner, was the one conducting the coin toss as usual. However, there was a former Pakistani cricketer accompanying him as well today, Waqar Younis.

Interestingly, PTI has reported that following the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s request to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) for a neutral presenter, Waqar Younis was appointed to conduct the toss interviews with the India and Pakistan captains for the Asia Cup final.
